Kremlin - Don't Let Them Breathe

[@Flamuu]

This game is a good example of "pushing the advantage", something I often criticize my teams of not doing. If you are on the strong flank, you run the enemy over before they can do the same to you.

Flamu's agression clearly won the battle. His team was FAR worse than the enemy's. If he'd hesitate he would've lost 100%

[@dalao-ok8wb]

hard to agree with you on the second part on his team being worse.. the enemy team has a halland that fed early game, a kremlin overextended into 4 ships (one of which being a kurfurst) and suicided, a hinden that doesnt know how to disengage and keep firing within 10km of 2 bbs, and not to mention that moskva. Flammu's team on average is not worse at all, if the average rank at the end is not anther telltale sign

[@tomsmithie3917]

So many games where we crush a flank and my team refuses to push around and get the crossfire. They play like the objective is to lose slowly.

[@repaleonhalo9754]

Or the dd gets a cap and the team thinks they can completely abandon that cap as if the opponents wont capture it back. Like the game is already one at first cap.

[@Arthion]

Yes, this is something that completely frustrates me. Had a game not long ago where the enemy flank melted and the three survivors were trying to escape back to their team. Instead of pushing up behind them and helping to pin and cut them off them with nowhere to run my team just hid behind islands for 5min where they couldn't even shoot for like 5 min despite not even being that damaged.

[@grimmshredsanguinus2915]

Exactly

[@steeltrap3800]

You're still luckier than you perhaps appreciate. A lot play as though the objective is to lose rapidly. ;-D

He should have used HE in the end, instead of moaning about being "above the peasants" like an aristocrat. That wouldn't have made his previous play bad in any way. "consistent ap damage" - yea it is consistent. Consistently lower then HE damage he could have made. If he'd have switched to HE, he would have ended the game right there.

[@T.K.9]

Its understanding the right time to push. But majority of BB's even though the enemy dd on the flank is dead, and the other side is 3 cruisers while your side is 3 bb and a dd, still BB's are afraid to push.

[@pewterschmidt23lord99]

yeah dont push when there are destroyers loitering around man also ppl just go out and do it in open water id try to use island cover first before going for the push

[@Mansplainer411]

You can not push like this in a gk. The only ship this can happen in is Kremlin. Unless you get ridiculously lucky with MM and they don't put HE spammers on the other team. Krems 60mm deck makes it immune to almost any ship throwing HE at it. It's DC helps keep fires extremely low. GK would have burned to death so fast doing this push

For example, his opinion on Italian BB's and BB SAP in particular is just so stuck in his head and there's really no one who can convince him otherwise. In one video he might be saying that those ships have no way of dealing with DD's, while in other one he shoots BB AP at DD's and says (quite correctly) that it works well enough, and stuationally even better than HE.

[@ryaeon9793]

@@wombat4191 i understand, but if it work for him them then why not. atleast AP will be reliable but not damage optimal. (your point is for damage optimal) if HE work for you then go for it, sometime it is convenient to use AP because DD will be hidden when they are running away, and you left with HE loaded. sometimes when you use HE that is the best damage for DD and then used it,, the shell take times to fly and it hit turret or other secondary and got no damage. normally people who have high success will become stubborn because they believe what they did is good for themself. the point is shoot the DD, its better than someone spot DD but shooting cruiser for damage farm.

Listen to that at the end again. Shooting AP at DDs guarantees minimum AP damage, which is higher than minimum HE damage. Yes, HE can score bigger hits, but it can also score lower hits. Don't bother swapping unless DDs are all that's left and it doesn't cost you time to swap.

Great game but wouldn't it make sense to switch to HE when just the DD was left?

[@Korovkin_Pavel]

Sometimes HE break modules with 0 damage. Ap always deals damage. I laughted so hard when 6he shells from izumo delt 1600damage to tashkent in 2 salvos, broke his angine 2 times torpedo tubes 2 times, a turret. But tashkent lived with 500hp left, and killed izumo with his 3rd torp launcher.

[@tulioc6]

If you have a ship with a high AP alpha, don't switch to HE. If the dd are saturated, you will do less damage to them. The overpen damage is safe, ships like the Vermont, Yama, Incomparable. Ships like Conqueror stick with HE due to it high alpha on it from what I was told in Trenlass Vermont video.

[@JbZeta]

I think it's complementary to highlight what happened at the C cap. Just a quick look at the minimap at 5:00 tells you you're a few minutes away from a 6v3, Bourgogne has a clear exit path behind the island, and petro can just turn away from there. Even if you have to give up the cap they'll never get enough points to save themselves. Now look at 6:00, Bourgogne still hasn't disengaged, instead they moved away from the one island they could use to control exposure, and petro just completely forgot to think. When you can't win a fight, staying alive is pretty much always the best option. I think the reason these players didn't do it is the same reason the kurfurst didn't push, they don't know how to judge the situation and look ahead to know what's about to happen.

[@magnus9980]

Mans fighting hard to get WG to release HMS Unfortunate

[@danielefabbro822]

Yeah what people don't realize is that when you have pushed enemy out of the cap, and most of their ships are gone except maybe a single DD or a single cruiser. That damn shell of nuts will come back and recap what you have already taken. It's damn dangerous have an enemy ship on the flank while pushing and not caring about it. And most of the teams just ignore flanks! They dont ever try to kill stuff that flank or just "magically disappear" on long range because... hey! There are other BBs there! Let's go farm! -_- no, that's the perfect way to lose the game. And they lose every time the game. And since I'm in those damn teams... I lose the game too! >_< damn these noobs! But... whatever, generally my teams just go in single point leaving the other flank to me and maybe another ship. While I'm generally able to hold for some time the flank, the rest of the fleet is wiped out with no mercy. So... you know... one against an entire enemy team. My chance of survival drops to zero. -_- Every. Single. F. Time.
